light the night

Hi guys. Suzanne Donaldson, Glamour’s photo director, here. You may remember hearing from me last year—and the year before that—and the year before that—and I’m back again to discuss something dear to my heart: cancer. But more specifically, how we all can help prevent it. So here's my plea—and how you can help: read more

As I mentioned last week, JD and I joined Team Glamour and Erin, Nick and Alex in the annual Light the Night walk. It was a cool Fall night and the rain clouds parted just long enough for the stars to reveal themselves against a deep purple sky. Auntie Lo headed over from the Brides office after work to join in too! Thank God! It was a pretty intense, chaotic, moving night. Lots of people, lots of stories (lots of red balloons for volunteers, white for survivors, like Erin, and gold for dear friends lost). When Erin took the stage with her family I got teary-eyed. read more

Today is Nick's 30th birthday. We met and started dating right before his 21st (I had to buy him drinks on our first date—a 311 concert at a bar on UT's campus).

We kind of knew we would be together forever even when we were just a couple of college kids playing frisbee golf (him) and cramming for exams (me). But if you told me then what we'd face in our nine years together, I'd say you were nuts. Nick and I have been through more in our short relationship than many couples face in a lifetime. And you know what? read more

Last night's Light the Night was a huge success and so much fun (also so crowded...which I guess is a good thing!). Alex and Nick got overstimulated on the way to the bridge so they hunkered down in a burrito place and waited for me to cross. I walked with friends from Glamour and Chrissy and Jack from Storked! read more

Since today is technically a holiday (are a lot of you off today? I'm not...) I thought I'd take this opportunity for a shameless plug. Thursday is Light the Night, the NYC Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's big walk over the Brooklyn Bridge and, well, I wanted to invite all of you to come. I know many of you live no where near New York, but if you do and you can DVR Grey's Anatomy and The Office, come on down to the Seaport at around 6 p.m. read more
